Sunscape Curaçao has the rare ability to blend ease with discovery. The resort sits on a stretch of coral-kissed coastline perfect for snorkeling, and it’s just a short drive from Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels more like southern Europe than the Caribbean. But you might not want to leave the property. With colorful colonial-style architecture and an easy-going tempo, the atmosphere is as warm as the breezes drifting in off the sea. Four pools, a casino, and spa provide all-day diversion, while the dining scene—spanning Italian, Asian fusion, and barefoot beach BBQ—never feels repetitive. There’s an emphasis on inclusivity: kids stay free, group packages abound, and even solo travelers can take advantage of curated wellness or dive packages. This resort is the ideal base for exploring an unspoiled corner of the Caribbean, without the crowds—or the price tags—you’d expect elsewhere.
